Refactor: Use packrat::restore() for R dependencies in CI#6
Merged
Conversation
This commit refactors the GitHub Actions workflow to use `packrat::restore()` for installing R package dependencies, providing a more robust and consistent dependency management approach aligned with the project's use of Packrat. Changes in `.github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yml`: - The `r-lib/actions/setup-r-dependencies` step is now configured to primarily install `packrat` itself and handle system-level dependencies. - A new step `Restore R package dependencies (packrat)` has been added which executes `Rscript -e "packrat::restore()"`. This command uses the project's `packrat.lock` file to install the correct versions of R package dependencies. This approach aims to resolve previous issues where `pak` (used by `setup-r-dependencies`) had difficulty locating CRAN packages. Using `packrat::restore()` directly leverages the project's existing dependency management setup.
